Subject: CfC: to maintain "Image Description Extension (longdesc)" Working
Draft on the Recommendation track

 

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to maintain the "Image Description
Extension (longdesc)" Working Draft on the Recommendation track.  The most
recent publication of this specification can be found at:

 

       http://www.w3.org/TR/html-longdesc/ 

 

The HTML WG "plan 2014" [1] encouraged the creation of extension
specifications.  In some cases these extension specifications have been
folded back into one of the current W3C HTML5 specifications.  In this case
the recommendation is to take the  "Image Description Extension (longdesc)"
Working Draft all the way to W3C Recommendation and to keep it separate from
the underlying HTML5 specification.

 

This recommendations comes to the HTML WG and PF WG from the Accessibility
Task Force whose decision on this matter is recorded here:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Jan/0049.html

 

Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses
are encouraged.  If there are no objections by Tuesday January 28, this
resolution will carry.
